Climate change spreads crop pests

2nd September, 2013

Global warming is actually helping pests and diseases that attack crops to spread around the world, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Climate Change.

Researchers from the universities of Exeter and Oxford found out that crop pests are moving towards the poles as regions warm.

The researchers looked at more than 600 crop pests from around the world. These included fungi, such as wheat rust, which is devastating harvests inAfrica and Middle East; insects like the mountain pine beetle that's destroying trees in the US; as well as bacteria, viruses and microscopic nematode worms. They found out that over the past 50 years, these destructive species have been on the move. On average, they're spreading 3km every year, shifting north and south towards the poles.

The scientists say this correlates with warming temperatures, allowing the pests to take hold in areas that were once too cold for them to live in. 

Currently, between 10% and 20% of the world's crops are lost to pests – and the team warns that this rising global temperatures could make the problem worse. The researchers say that improved surveillance of the problem is needed.

Japanese garbage island moves towards US

_____________________________________________________________________________

Following the recent Japanese earthquake and tsunami disasters, a massive amount of rubbish has washed into the Pacific Ocean. The US Navy is watching the garbage with interest as it floats towards Hawaii and the west coast of the United States.

Entire houses, bodies, car parts, tractors and many upturned boats have amassed off the east coast of Japan on an epic scale.

The floating objects have been declared a maritime hazard by the American Navy, which warned they could pierce the body of a boat, or destroy engines in the Pacific's shipping lanes.

The island of debris of most concern, 110 kilometers long, is being closely monitored by the US Navy's seventh fleet, as experts predict it could hit Hawaii's shores in two years and the American west coast a year later.

Hawaiian scientists put it bluntly. They warned that a vast mass that originated in a few moments of destruction in Japan, could eventually foul beaches and reefs off the Eastern North Pacific and kill marine life.

The American Navy's working with civilian construction companies from the earthquake-hit country, as huge cranes and boats are deployed to clear the seas of this vast bobbing mass of wreckage of household furniture, wood, tires, fishing equipment and other garbage, sweeping eastwards.

Reading is one of the four language skills which is dealt with in the EFL classroom. There are different reading subskills that learners should practice in a reading lesson, such as:
1. Reading a text just to find a specific piece or pieces of information in it. In this case, instead of reading the whole text slowly, learners read the text quickly to get some specific information.
2. Reading quickly through a text to get a general idea of what it is about.
3. Reading long pieces of text, for example a story or an article, in order to gain a general understanding of what is read. This type of reading is intended mainly to develop good reading habits.
4. Reading a text to examine language, generally at a slower speed. This kind of reading requires a higher degree of understanding than the previous type of reading.
Choose the option which presents the correct reading subskills that refer to the definitions listed above, respectively:
A) inferring / brainstorming / reading for gist / detailed reading.
B) skimming / scanning / intensive reading / extensive reading.
C) scanning / skimming / extensive reading / intensive reading.
D) inference / reading for gist / reading comprehension / reading for detail.
E) reading for specific information / deducing meaning / reading for gist / detailed reading.
